Throughout Mint's evolution, JetBlue has priced the business-class cabin quite aggressively, with fares starting at around $499 on Saturdays for one-way travel between the coasts.

It's almost been a year since the awards, so it was time for me to check how Mint's been holding up on a trip from New York-JFK to Seattle (SEA) with my girlfriend. At the inaugural TPG Awards in 2018, Mint even won the award for best domestic business class. It's no surprise, then, that TPG himself raved about the Mint experience.

The first thing I noticed was how much space the seat provided, compared to the more narrow Mint Suites. I boarded with the rest of the Mint passengers, and arrived at my seat, 4A.
